A valuable hint for nurses is t

A valuable hint for nurses is to
use sponge as mustard poultice
carrier. Mix the mustard In a
basin with water until smooth and
of even consistency. Then take
the soft mass all up with clean
sponge in the center of white
handkerchief. tie up the corners
neatly and apply the smooth con-
vex surface to the skin The mus
tard sponge, warmed again by the
fire and slightly moistened, can be
applied three or four times, is
good for several hours, and saves
the trouble of making a new poul.
tice during the WEAKNESS of night
watching. The sponge can after
ward easily be washed clean IN
warm water.

On the 10Th OF Jane, Queen Vic
toria, the ruler Of the United King
dom of England, Ireland, Scotland
and Wales and Empress of India,
will have completed areign of fifty
years. This fact has given TO the
present the title of the jubilee
Year and celebrations of the event
throughout the British Empire are
in order. The jubilee observances
began in India, where they were
conducted ON a most extensive
scale, and elaborate preparations
are making in Great Britain and
Canada for celebrations of various
kinds.
All English speaking people are
interested in anything pertaining
to the present sovereign Of Egn-
land, and the great newspapers
are already beginning to give prom
inence to matter concerning the
Jubilee Year and its observance
With all the fuss over the long
and short haul features of the in
terstate bill, a careful investigation
of the subject proves beyond doubt
that it does the most good TO the
most persons. The cutting of spe-
cial rates and rebates has caused
loud complaint from those who
enjoyed these special favors- This
feature of the bill alone is suffi-
Gent to render it popular with the
public, by putting an end to such
unjust discrimination. In places
it has slightly advanced rates,
while In others it has lowered them,
and in The long run it viii force
the railroads to lower their general
rates for all points, as they are
beginning to do already, in recog-
milton of the fact that to maintain
their business they must put their
charges low enough to compete in
a measure with the charges for
transportation by water.
